Begin Again

A few weeks back, Taylor Swift launched a new single, Begin Again. When Jessica told me she was going to do a cover last week, i was stoked. We always go to karaoke together and i know this girl can sing, so it wasn't surprising she wanted to do a cover. And of course, it didn't take me very long to guess she was going to do a Taylor Swift song since she is a huge fan of her.

When she told me she was going to cover Begin Again, i was clueless. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan but i figured her newest single to be Red. Truth be told, Jess rang me up the morning of her recording and told me she was having a sore throat. She kept repeating the words "how??" and "what should i do??" but i am really glad she still went for it and aced it.

I don't normally watch covers on YouTube except the popular ones like Jayesslee and Jason Chen but i really really thought for a first attempt, Jess managed to pull it off. The video (which by the way does not feature a lady with pink hair lifting up a loincloth) was pretty well filmed and edited given it didn't require any huge budget.

Cliche as it sounds, we should always dare to do what we have always wanted to do. And if you like it, hit on the "like" button and subscribe to her YouTube channel so you will be updated with new covers the next time! Now excuse me for awhile while i hit the replay button.
